4694e99477 CmdPal: Upgrade FuzzyStringMatcher in the Command Palette Extensions SDK (#44809) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR upgrades the `FuzzyStringMatcher` used in the Command Palette
Extensions SDK with a focus on performance, memory efficiency, and
improved matching behavior, while preserving compatibility with the
existing API. This PR is a backwards compatible alternative to
precomputed fuzzy matcher introduces in another PR.

The new implementation is designed as a drop-in replacement. Any
behavioral differences are intentional and primarily related to improved
diacritic handling, scoring consistency, and correctness of highlight
positions.

Changes:
- Keeps the existing public API intact and preserves behavior in nearly
all cases.
- Enables diacritics-insensitive matching by default, improving results
across accented and non-English languages.
- Significantly improves performance, with measured speedups in the
range of ~5–20 times, depending on scenario and input size.
- Reduces heap allocations to near zero by using stack allocation and
pooled buffers instead of large per-match DP arrays.
- Simplifies and optimizes matching logic:
  - Folds the haystack only once per match.
  - Uses rolling DP buffers instead of `O(query × target)` tables.
- Replaces large match tables with a compact bitset when tracking
highlight positions.
- Improves consistency and correctness:
  - Normalizes path separators (`\` → `/`) during folding.
- Avoids returning highlight positions for PinYin-only matches where no
1:1 mapping exists.
- Introduces unit tests, including comparison tests against the legacy
implementation to validate compatibility.

64cabc8789 CmdPal: Fix window centering when moving to a display with different DPI (#45057) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes centering of main window, when the window also moves
between move display with a different DPI.

- The centered position was calculated using the current window width
and height, but those values change after the window is moved to
accommodate the new display’s DPI.
- Calculations have been refactored out of main window to a helper
class.

5f124cec55 CmdPal: Cache and show information for disabled command providers (#44278) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds a cache of command provider information so we can show
providers even when the command provider isn’t loaded.

It also updates the description for disabled extensions on the
Extensions page to always include the extension name.

Finally, it adds a placeholder icon for cases where an extension icon
isn’t loaded. Note that this doesn’t address fully transparent icons
that some extensions may inherit from the default template.

8ec530c65e CmdPal: GEH per partes; part 1: error report builder, sanitizer and internals tools setting page (#44140) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds three parts of the original big bad global error handler
(error report builder, sanitization and internal tools UI).

### Error Report Generation

- `ErrorReportBuilder`: Produces a detailed, technical report with
system context.
- Comprehensive data: OS version, architecture, culture, app version,
elevation status, etc.
- Exception analysis: Coalesces nested exception messages and HRESULT
details for clearer diagnostics.

<details><summary>Example</summary>
<pre>

This is an error report generated by Windows Command Palette.
If you are seeing this, it means something went a little sideways in the
app.
You can help us fix it by filing a report at
https://aka.ms/powerToysReportBug.

(While you’re at it, give the details below a quick skim — just to make
sure there’s nothing personal you’d prefer not to share. It’s rare, but
sometimes little surprises sneak in.)

### PII Sanitization Framework

- `ErrorReportSanitizer`: Multi-layer sanitization pipeline for
sensitive data.
- Nine specialized rule providers:
- `PiiRuleProvider`: Personally identifiable information (emails, phone
numbers, SSNs).
- `ProfilePathAndUsernameRuleProvider`: Windows user profiles and
usernames.
- `NetworkRuleProvider`: IP addresses, MAC addresses, network
identifiers.
- `SecretKeyValueRulesProvider`: API keys, tokens, passwords in
key/value formats.
  - `FilenameMaskRuleProvider`: Sensitive file paths and extensions.
  - `UrlRuleProvider`: URLs and web addresses.
  - `TokenRuleProvider`: JWT and other auth tokens.
  - `ConnectionStringRuleProvider`: Database connection strings.
- `EnvironmentPropertiesRuleProvider`: Environment variables and system
properties.

### Internals Tools Page

A page in settings available in non-CI-builds:

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

**Build System & Configuration:**
- Updated `Cpp.Build.props` to use `v145` (VS 2026) as the default
`PlatformToolset`, with fall back to `v143` for VS 2022.
- Configured C++ Language Standard:
  - `stdcpplatest` for production projects.
- Removed explicit `<PlatformToolset>` definitions from individual
project files (approx. 37 modules) to inherit correctly from the central
`Cpp.Build.props`.

**Code Refactoring & Fixes:**
- Updated `DrawingHelperTests.cs` in MouseJump Unit Test to ease the
pixel difference tolerance. This became an issue after switching to the
new VS2026 build agent.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed

- Validated successful compilation of the entire solution. Similar
updates have been made to the .NET 10 branch, but these are much cleaner
and will be merged into that branch once fully confirmed working.

13ce5db6b1 CmdPal: Add solution filter for Microsoft.CmdPal.Ext.PowerToys (#45096) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds a new solution filter (.slnf) for the
Microsoft.CmdPal.Ext.PowerToys extension project and its dependencies.

This is added as a separate solution filter alongside
CommandPalette.slnf, since the extension is not directly dependent on
Command Palette. Instead, it relies on the public SDK distributed via
NuGet. It also depends on other PowerToys projects, which would
unnecessarily clutter CommandPalette.slnf.

f0831742d6 CmdPal: Remove deadlock bait from AppListItem (#45076) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR removes a Task.Wait() call from lazy-loading AppListItem details
that could be invoked on the UI thread and lead to a deadlock.

It now follows the same pattern previously used for loading icons in the
same class, which has proven to work well.

Prevents #44938 from stepping on this landmine.

Cherry-picked from #44973.

ea43974287 [Settings] [Advanced Paste] Upgrade advanced paste settings safely to fix settings ui crash (#44862) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request makes a minor fix in the `AdvancedPasteViewModel`
constructor to ensure the correct settings repository is used for null
checking. The change improves code correctness by verifying
`advancedPasteSettingsRepository` instead of the generic
`settingsRepository`.

- Fixed null check to use `advancedPasteSettingsRepository` instead of
`settingsRepository` in the `AdvancedPasteViewModel` constructor for
more accurate validation.

0b3dc089ac [Peek] Fix Space key triggering during file rename (#44845) (#44995) 
Don't show error window when CurrentItem is null - just return silently.
This restores the original behavior where CaretVisible() detection in
GetSelectedItems() would suppress Peek by returning null, and no window
would be shown.

PR #44703 added an error window for virtual folders (Home/Recent), but
this also triggered when user was typing (rename, search, address bar),
stealing focus and cancelling the operation.

Fixes #44845

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request adds telemetry tracking for user interactions with the
application's tray icon. Specifically, it introduces new methods for
logging `left-click`, `right-click`, and `double-click` events, and
integrates these telemetry calls into the tray icon event handling
logic.

<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request updates the tray icon context menu logic to better
reflect the state of the "Quick Access" feature. The menu now
dynamically updates its items and labels based on whether Quick Access
is enabled or disabled, improving clarity for users.

**Menu behavior improvements:**

* The tray icon menu now reloads itself when the Quick Access setting
changes, ensuring the menu always matches the current state.
* The "Settings" menu item label changes to "Settings\tLeft-click" when
Quick Access is disabled, providing clearer instructions to users.

* The Quick Access menu item is removed from the context menu when the
feature is disabled, preventing confusion.

**Internal state tracking:**

* Added a new variable `last_quick_access_state` to track the previous
Quick Access state and trigger menu reloads only when necessary.

27dcd1e5bc Awake and DevEx improvements (#44795) 
This PR contains a set of bug fixes and general improvements to
[Awake](https://awake.den.dev/) and developer experience tooling for
building the module.

### Awake Fixes

- **#32544** - Fixed an issue where Awake settings became non-functional
after the PC wakes from sleep. Added `WM_POWERBROADCAST` handling to
detect system resume events (`PBT_APMRESUMEAUTOMATIC`,
`PBT_APMRESUMESUSPEND`) and re-apply `SetThreadExecutionState` to
restore the awake state.

- **#36150** - Fixed an issue where Awake would not prevent sleep when
AC power is connected. Added `PBT_APMPOWERSTATUSCHANGE` handling to
re-apply `SetThreadExecutionState` when the power source changes
(AC/battery transitions).

- **#41674** - Fixed silent failure when `SetThreadExecutionState`
fails. The monitor thread now handles the return value, logs an error,
and reverts to passive mode with updated tray icon.

- **#41738** - Fixed `--display-on` CLI flag default from `true` to
`false` to align with documentation and PowerToys settings behavior.
This is a breaking change for scripts relying on the undocumented
default.

- **#41918** - Fixed `WM_COMMAND` message processing flaw in
`TrayHelper.WndProc` that incorrectly compared enum values against enum
count. Added proper bounds checking for custom tray time entries.

- **#44134** - Documented that `ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED` (used when "Keep
display on" is enabled) blocks Task Scheduler idle detection, preventing
scheduled maintenance tasks like SSD TRIM. Workaround: disable "Keep
display on" or manually run `Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter C -ReTrim`.

- **#38770** - Fixed tray icon failing to appear after Windows updates.
Increased retry attempts and delays for icon Add operations (10
attempts, up to ~15.5 seconds total) while keeping existing fast retry
behavior for Update/Delete operations.

- **#40501** - Fixed tray icon not disappearing when Awake is disabled.
The `SetShellIcon` function was incorrectly requiring an icon for Delete
operations, causing the `NIM_DELETE` message to never be sent.

- Fixed an issue where toggling "Keep screen on" during an active timed
session would disrupt the countdown timer. The display setting now
updates directly without restarting the timer, preserving the exact
remaining time.

### Performance Optimizations

- Fixed O(n²) loop in `TrayHelper.CreateAwakeTimeSubMenu` by replacing
`ElementAt(i)` with `foreach` iteration.

- Fixed Observable subscription leak in `Manager.cs` by storing
`IDisposable` and disposing in `CancelExistingThread()`. Also removed
dead `_tokenSource` code that was no longer used.

- Reduced allocations in `SingleThreadSynchronizationContext` by
changing `Tuple<>` to `ValueTuple`.

- Replaced dedicated exit event thread with
`ThreadPool.RegisterWaitForSingleObject()` to reduce resource usage.

### Code Quality

- Replaced `Console.WriteLine` with `Logger.LogError` in `TrayHelper.cs`
for consistent logging.

- Added proper error logging to silent exception catches in
`AwakeService.cs`.

- Removed dead `Math.Min(minutes, int.MaxValue)` code where `minutes` is
already an `int`.

- Extracted hardcoded tray icon ID to named constant `TrayIconId`.

- Standardized null coalescing for `GetSettings<AwakeSettings>()` calls
across all files.

### Debugging Experience Fixes

- Fixed first-chance exceptions in `settings_window.cpp` during
debugging. Added `HasKey()` check before accessing `hotkey_changed`
property to prevent `hresult_error` exceptions when the property doesn't
exist in module settings.

- Fixed first-chance exceptions in FindMyMouse `parse_settings` during
debugging. Refactored to extract the properties object once and added
`HasKey()` checks before all `GetNamedObject()` calls. This prevents
`winrt::hresult_error` exceptions when optional settings keys (like
legacy `overlay_opacity`) don't exist, improving the debugging
experience by eliminating spurious exception breaks.

- Fixed LightSwitch.UITests build failures when building from a clean
state. Added missing project references (`ManagedCommon`,
`LightSwitchModuleInterface`) with `ReferenceOutputAssembly=false` to
ensure proper build ordering, and added existence check for the native
DLL copy operation.

### Developer Experience

- Added `setup-dev-environment.ps1` script to automate development
environment setup.
- Added `clean-artifacts.ps1` script to resolve build errors from
corrupted build state or missing image files.
- Added build script that allows standalone command line build of the
Awake module.
- Added troubleshooting section to
`doc/devdocs/development/debugging.md` with guidance on resolving common
build errors.

b5e9f346da [CmdPal] Fix details pane not hiding when item initialization fails (#44757) 
Fixes #44487

## Summary
Fixed issue where the details pane would display stale information when
navigating from an item with details to an item without details or where
details failed to load.

## Changes
1. **ListViewModel.cs**: Added HideDetailsMessage when SafeSlowInit()
fails to ensure previous details are cleared
2. **InstallPackageListItem.cs**: Added exception handling for WinRT
marshaling errors when accessing metadata.Documentations and
metadata.Tags collections

The fix ensures graceful degradation - if certain metadata collections
fail to load due to WinRT issues, the details pane still displays
available information rather than failing completely.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
  The SpongebotPage example in initial-sdk-spec.md had two problems:

  Before:
```cs
  public void IFallbackHandler.UpdateQuery(string query) {
      // ...
      return Task.CompletedTask.AsAsyncCommand();
  }
```

  After:
```cs
  public void UpdateQuery(string query) {
      // ...
  }
```

 The fix aligns the example with actual implementations in the codebase.

53c5e66cce [UI Tests][Light Switch] Fix tests: LS, Hosts, Worspaces, Mouse (#44754) 
This pull request refactors the LightSwitch module to introduce a new
shared static library, `LightSwitchLib`, which centralizes theme
management logic and enables code sharing between the service and module
interface. The changes move theme-related code from the service and
module interface into this new library, update project references, and
clean up now-redundant files and includes.

**LightSwitchLib introduction and code deduplication:**

- Added a new static library project, `LightSwitchLib`, containing all
theme management logic (`SetSystemTheme`, `SetAppsTheme`,
`GetCurrentSystemTheme`, `GetCurrentAppsTheme`, `IsNightLightEnabled`)
and related files (`ThemeHelper.cpp`, `ThemeHelper.h`, `pch.h`,
`pch.cpp`). This code was previously duplicated in both the service and
module interface.
(`src/modules/LightSwitch/LightSwitchLib/LightSwitchLib.vcxproj`

- Updated the solution file and relevant project files to add and
reference `LightSwitchLib` from both `LightSwitchService` and
`LightSwitchModuleInterface`, ensuring both components use the shared
implementation. (`PowerToys.slnx`
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-40c552fef4118125c3ccd6b156db518acec74b11150b193b31f18a2cc17a531eR668)

**Cleanup and removal of redundant code:**

- Removed old theme management code and headers from
`LightSwitchService` and `LightSwitchModuleInterface` now that logic
resides in `LightSwitchLib`. (`ThemeHelper.cpp`
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-3e2766504c1cf989390508c613b2177cd5de14fb9de46df3b416f95f955338bfL1-L106)

- Removed duplicated registry path constants from `SettingsConstants.h`,
as they are now defined in the shared header. (`SettingsConstants.h`

**Module interface improvements:**

- Added `ExportedFunctions.cpp` to the module interface, exposing theme
management functions as exports and using the shared library
implementation. (`ExportedFunctions.cpp`
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-48acf3b77a8b6ac6fd1129afe1a677b34447ce39454e86ea04f1a1181a23b546R1-R22)

**Minor test and logging adjustments:**

- Fixed a UI test to use the correct toggle name for the Hosts File
Editor. (`HostsSettingTests.cs`
[src/modules/Hosts/Hosts.UITests/HostsSettingTests.csL116-R116](diffhunk://#diff-3782109c99cd66a2c1b870a83d1f9d9807422479c89e03799b311ef5f13a2098L116-R116))
- Updated a log message to refer to `LightSwitchLib` instead of
`LightSwitchService` for clarity. (`ThemeHelper.cpp`

at the top of the page.
- Improved markdown styling for better readability.
- Pull requests links can now be clicked.
- Upgraded `CommunityToolkit.Labs.MarkdownTextblock` to the latest
version as it includes much needed bugfixes.

fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request

- Refactored the runner logic for handling individual module
enable/disable updates. Instead of receiving the entire settings.json
via IPC, it now processes only single-module state updates, which avoids
race conditions and fixes a bug where modules could end up being
skipped.
- Fixed an issue where the sort order option could be deselected — it is
now enforced as a mutually exclusive choice.
- Fixed a potential race condition when updating the AppList control’s
sorting.

175403d86d fix: Improve tray icon theming and installer icon handling (#44715) 
Add "svgs" directory and icon files to installer, ensuring proper
install/uninstall and registry registration. Enhance logging in
general_settings.cpp for theme-adaptive tray icon config changes.
Refactor tray_icon.cpp to improve icon loading robustness, add detailed
diagnostics, and ensure fallback to default icon if theme-adaptive icon
fails to load. These changes improve error handling and maintainability
for tray icon theming.

c8da70d6fa CmdPal: Replace assembly metadata attributes with preprocessor directives (#44707) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR replaces custom metadata attributes used to pass build-time
information with preprocessor directives. It appears that metadata can
be stripped from the final build output, even though it survived AOT in
earlier tests on the main and stable branches.

New preprocesor directives in Microsoft.CmdPal.UI:
- `BUILD_INFO_PUBLISH_AOT` - when `PublishAot` MSBuild parameter is
`true`
- `BUILD_INFO_PUBLISH_TRIMMED `- when `PublishTrimmed` MSBuild parameter
is `true`
- `BUILD_INFO_CIBUILD `- when `CIBuild` MSBuild parameter is `true`

Using preprocessor directives avoids this uncertainty and provides a
more reliable solution.

74448355f9 Peek: Show error message when activated in unsupported virtual folders (#44703) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request

When Peek is activated in virtual folders like Home or Recent, it now
displays a clear error message instead of showing a stuck loading state
or "Search in Microsoft Store" link.

### Problem
When users activate Peek (press the hotkey) in Windows virtual folders
such as Home or Recent, the Shell API (SVGIO_SELECTION) returns 0 items
because these folders don't support the standard file selection
retrieval mechanism. Previously, this caused:

- The Peek window to appear stuck in a loading state
- The "Search in Microsoft Store" fallback UI to display incorrectly
- Subsequent Peek activations to fail until the window was manually
closed

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fd657e46-97f8-4042-bf43-971055f74700"
/>

### Solution

- Added a check in `Initialize()` to detect when no files are found
after querying the Shell
- Display an error InfoBar with a user-friendly message: "No files
selected or this folder is not supported for preview."
- Hide the `FilePreview` control when the error is shown to prevent
displaying irrelevant fallback UI
- Close the window automatically when the user dismisses the InfoBar
(clicks X)

<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
1. Update the CLI Log Folder
2. Fixes an `ArgumentOutOfRangeException` that occurs in ImageResizer
when the `CustomSize` or `AiSize` properties change.
<img width="1494" height="530" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3d8dbe8c-4d21-46bc-9c10-f6d26161787f"
/>

Changed the collection changed notification from `Replace` to `Reset`
for both `CustomSize` and `AiSize` property changes. While `Reset` is
less efficient (it forces a full UI refresh rather than updating a
single item), it avoids the index validation issue since it doesn't
require specifying an index.

c88fe1fa0e [FancyZonesCLI] Fix PowerShell GUID parsing and add subcommand help (#44676)

-->
## Summary of the Pull Request

<!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting-->
## PR Checklist
This PR improves FancyZones CLI usability with three enhancements:

1. **PowerShell GUID compatibility**: Users can now pass GUIDs without
braces (e.g., `0CEBCBA9-9C32-4395-B93E-DC77485AD6D0`), avoiding
PowerShell's script block interpretation issue
2. **Subcommand help**: Added `--help` support for individual commands
(e.g., `FancyZonesCLI set-layout --help`)
3. **Friendly error messages**: When PowerShell incorrectly interprets
`{GUID}` as a script block, displays a helpful message instead of
cryptic errors

0314a709f5 Optimize the module list logic (#44628) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request refactors how module enable/disable state changes are
handled in the settings UI, centralizing and simplifying the logic for
updating and notifying these changes. The main improvements include
unifying the callback mechanism for enable state changes, reducing code
duplication, and making the update process more robust against circular
updates.

**Refactoring and Simplification of Enable State Handling:**

* Introduced a unified `EnabledChangedCallback` and `UpdateStatus`
method in the base `ModuleListItem` class to handle enable/disable state
changes and notifications, replacing redundant logic in derived classes
like `FlyoutMenuItem` and `DashboardListItem`.

* Updated all usages to call `UpdateStatus` instead of directly setting
`IsEnabled`, ensuring callbacks are managed consistently and preventing
unnecessary notifications during programmatic updates.

**Improvements to Callback and Update Logic:**

* Changed the signature of UI event handlers to use the base
`ModuleListItem` type, improving code maintainability and reducing
casting and duplication.

* Removed obsolete or redundant flags and logic for tracking update
state, further simplifying the codebase.

**Project and Namespace Adjustments:**

* Updated the project file to include all localized resource files
recursively, improving localization support.
* Added a missing namespace import to ensure proper type resolution.
* Added a missing `using System;` directive for the `Action` delegate.

af401dd6e9 Fix quickaccess localization issue (#44626) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request updates the resource file inclusion pattern in the
`PowerToys.QuickAccess.csproj` project file to support localization for
multiple languages.

Localization improvements:

* Changed the `PRIResource` include path to recursively include all
`Resources.resw` files from subdirectories, enabling support for
multiple language resource files instead of just `en-us`.

6c2a99dfd6 Fix FancyZones editor overlay on mixed-DPI multi-monitor setups (#44440) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Use DPI-unaware context when positioning overlay windows to match the
coordinate space from the C++ backend.

The FancyZones editor overlay windows were incorrectly positioned on
secondary monitors when using different DPI scaling (e.g.,
125%/150%/125%). Zones appeared shifted or clipped because they extended
past monitor edges.

## PR Checklist

- [x] Closes: #43363
- [x] Closes: #43386
- [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors
already.
- [ ] **Tests:** Added/updated and all pass
- [ ] **Localization:** All end-user-facing strings can be localized
- [ ] **Dev docs:** Added/updated
- [ ] **New binaries:** Added on the required places

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Root Cause
The C++ backend uses a DPI-unaware thread to get virtual screen
coordinates, but the WPF editor (PerMonitorV2 DPI-aware) interpreted
these coordinates with DPI scaling applied, causing misalignment on
non-primary monitors.

### Fix
- **EditorParameters.cpp**: Use consistent virtual coordinates for all
monitor properties (removed `DPIAware::Convert` that was only applied to
dimensions)
- **Monitor.cs**: Reposition overlay windows using DPI-unaware context
after HWND creation, matching the coordinate space from C++ backend
- **NativeMethods.cs**: Added `SetWindowPositionDpiUnaware()` using
`SetThreadDpiAwarenessContext` to temporarily switch DPI awareness

## Validation Steps Performed

Manually tested on 3-monitor setup with 125%/150%/125% DPI scaling -
overlays now correctly cover each monitor's work area.
